A difference that separates high performers from average performers is the willingness to fail and try again. Average performers tend to be afraid of pushing boundaries with their thought equity, which then translates into average work. This can include avoiding collaboration with others, being too afraid to propose new ideas, or even just doing the bare minimum tasks each day at work. 3, record 2, English, - average%20performing%20employee

... the UAB [University of Alabama at Birmingham] team probed deeper into the welding process and made a fundamental metallurgical discovery-constitutional liquid film migration-a phenomenon that Dr. Thompson says would not have been found without the Gleeble. In the 1980's, researchers working in solid state electronic devices discovered diffusion-induced grain boundary migration, in which diffusion of elements from the top layer of a device would cause the grain boundaries to move in unpredictable directions. Five years later, other investigators found that running a liquid along the grain boundary could also cause it to move. Then, in the course of their NASA-related research, Dr. Thompson and his colleagues discovered that liquid film migration of grain boundaries occurred naturally during welding as the result of precipitates liquating in the heat affected zone. The UAB team further found that the migration distance was an order of magnitude greater than previously observed and that new grains were actually formed during the process. Spurred on by this discovery, the UAB researchers looked at real-world welding processes and found that constitutional liquid film migration could be found there too. 1, record 14, English, - liquid%20film%20migration%20of%20grain%20boundaries

Elections Canada and Statistics Canada have developed a digital national road network, the National Geographic Database(NGD), for electoral and census purposes. With this database, Elections Canada will be able to use electors’ addresses to determine their electoral district and polling division. The new database will also make the National Register of Electors more accessible to other electoral jurisdictions in Canada that have different electoral boundaries. They will be able to superimpose their own electoral districts on the road network and relate these to elector data from the Register. Using National Register of Electors data in place of enumeration can generate significant savings for electoral agencies in the provinces and municipalities. 1, record 15, English, - National%20Geographic%20Database

Élections Canada et Statistique Canada ont conçu un réseau routier numérique national, appelé Base nationale de données géographiques (BNDG), aux fins des élections et des recensements. Grâce à cette base de données, Élections Canada pourra déterminer la circonscription et la section de vote d'un électeur à l'aide de son adresse. De plus, la nouvelle base de données facilitera le partage des données du Registre national des électeurs avec les organismes électoraux du Canada qui utilisent des délimitations différentes de celles d'Élections Canada. Ces organismes pourront obtenir les données sur les électeurs du registre en fonction de leurs propres circonscriptions, en superposant leurs limites sur le réseau routier. En remplaçant le recensement par les données du Registre national des électeurs, les organismes électoraux des provinces et des municipalités pourront réaliser d'importantes économies. 2, record 15, French, - Base%20nationale%20de%20donn%C3%A9es%20g%C3%A9ographiques

The Institute promotes the international rule of law and human rights by its activities in the fields of comparative law, international law and conflict of laws, and in the fields of European law and Commonwealth law. The Institute's unique contribution is, as Lord Denning stated in 1952, in moving freely over the boundaries that divide these fields of law and bringing out the underlying unities. The Institute's location at the heart of the common law world and the financial and commercial centre of London, and between continental Europe and America, dictates and support this mission. The Institute provides a unique focus on the development of an international legal order, and also of the European Union and European Human Rights. It is deeply involved in the development of international commercial and financial law. Assistance to new or struggling democracies and the developing economies is a core task. 1, record 16, English, - British%20Institute%20of%20International%20and%20Comparative%20Law
